President Trump finally admitted today that he was bluffing when he brought up the possibility that he had recorded conversations with former FBI Director James Comey.
As folks will recall, back in May, just days after Comey’s firing, Trump tweeted: “James Comey better hope that there are no “tapes” of our conversations before he starts leaking to the press!”
For weeks reporters have asked whether this was or was not true, and if true when would the President provide those "tapes" to the public?
Via Twitter today, Trump wrote, "With all of the recently reported electronic surveillance, intercepts, unmasking and illegal leaking of information, I have no idea... whether there are "tapes" or recordings of my conversations with James Comey, but I did not make, and do not have, any such recordings."

Clearly, Trump was merely making stuff up in order to intimidate Comey. When scared, he bluffs.
During his testimony to the Senate Intelligence Committee, Comey welcomed the idea of such recordings saying, "Lordy, I hope there are tapes."
